We're already working on plans to do storytime videos and possibly D&D, reading chapter books aloud for school aged kids, posting crafting instructional videos, etc. Our Teen Librarian cites the following article regarding legality or reading books online: https://www.slj.com/?detailStory=tackling-copyright-concerns-when-taking-sto... She also said that she's read comments from large publishers stating that they don't have any intention of going after schools or libraries for such things. Let's go forth and innovate, friends!

I've also considered maybe social media live streaming too, and then saving the videos so people can access any time they want.

Have any libraries tried holding book group meetings, Dungeons & Dragons games, and other such events via Skype, Zoom, or another conference software program? If you have, how has that worked for you? Does anyone have any other innovative digital ideas they would like to share with the rest of us, to get through these interesting times? -- Jessica Holman Library Director Negaunee Public Library 319 West Case Street Negaunee, MI 49866 (906) 475-7700 ext. 18 _______________________________________________ Michlib-l mailing list Michlib-l@mcls.org http://mail2.mcls.org/mailman/listinfo/michlib-l
